Principal’s Voice

 

Hear from the Principal of NBCS, Tim Watson

What we do and how we do it

At NBCS, over the past seven years, we have built a very deliberate framework and approach to education. We remain committed to educating the whole child so that school is not just about the academic. We are, nonetheless, conscious that the main aim of school is learning.

Antifragility – growing in times of hardship

The way we view the world shapes the world that we inhabit. We want to face difficulties with a mindset that helps us avoid bitterness, that tilts us towards success and a stronger, brighter future.

Character

“Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.” This might run contrary to accepted wisdom. It seems counter intuitive. And yet upon reflection, it rings true. All of the little moments are preparations for the bigger ones. The way we manage the small irritations and inconveniences will prepare us for how we manage when big things arise.

May the Year Ahead be Wonderful

I love the start of the school year. I know many parents do, too. For me, it’s the combination of all that nervous energy ready to be directed and deployed, and the chance to start afresh. It’s also wonderful to watch students enjoy catching up with their peers, renewing old friendships and making new ones.

Principal’s Remarks at 2024 Year 12 Graduation

We hope that you leave with Values, Effort, Learning, Character, Relationships and Opportunities. Your world is bigger because of your time here, because of who you now are, and because of what you take away with you.
